You’re probably looking for a day of the week calculator. Chances are you have a date in mind and you want to find out
what day of the week it was. You’re in luck! This nifty little website will help you solve your problem. Let’s face it,
it’s not easy to find an old calendar just to find out what day of the week a particular day is.

It’s also possible that you might be asking the question: “What day of the week was I born?” Whatever
your reason is, you’ll get the days of the week you are looking for.

As an added bonus, this website utilizes pages from Wikipedia to extract historical events and birthday of popular individuals. This is
useful if you’re creating a scrapbook and you want to know some important events that took place about a particular day.

This website is using the Gregorian calendar system as the
basis for computing the day of the week. Dates before 1752 in some European countries were recorded as a Julian calendar date such as the one
engraved in the above picture of a church tower in Salisbury, a city in England. (Photo credit: Alan Clarke) Just for fun. Try entering
the date you see in the above picture and verify the day of the week.

Here are some interesting facts about the Julian and Gregorian calendars. When the Calendar Act was implemented in Britain, on
September 2, 1752 the Britons slept using the old Julian calendar and woke up the following morning using the Gregorian calendar but it
suddenly became September 14, 1752. They skipped 11 days overnight. Some neighboring countries made the switch to Gregorian calendar a few
centuries earlier while others a few centuries later. For example, the Russians only adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1918. The Greeks did
not switch to it until 1923 and they have to skip 13 days instead of just 11 days.

Now, let us begin with today’s date. You may also enter a specific day using the form on the top bar. The year is optional and this
website will use the current year if it is not given. All date and time computations are based on the server’s current date and time
which is Saturday, December 10, 2016 01:07:37 AM UTC.
